ftp filesystem?
 

is there any kind of technology out there that allows an FTP server to be mounted as a filesystem, so that editing the files on the server would be transparent to the application doing the editing? upon save, the psuedo-filesystem would upload the new version (obviously it would have to be cached on disk) to the FTP server. i don't see any technological reason that this can't happen. are there any projects out there working on it? if not, does anyone with a familiarity with innards of filesystems want to start a project with me? :-)

Take a look at LUFS:

And midnight commander can do that for you, too,
if editing plain text is all you need :)
